1
00:00:08,53 --> 00:00:10,27
Reconcile Vol two hundred yards short

2
00:00:16,45 --> 00:01:12,75
her column on targets.

3
00:01:15,83 --> 00:01:20,67
Long before Pearl Harbor the signal corps
of the United States Army you it would

4
00:01:20,67 --> 00:01:25,56
take more than a telephone wire to connect
this voice with all the other fighting

5
00:01:25,56 --> 00:01:26,70
units that had to hear it.

6
00:01:27,60 --> 00:01:33,25
They knew it would take radio transmission
radio can reach these tanks wherever

7
00:01:33,25 --> 00:01:35,18
they are and tell them what's ahead.

8
00:01:36,93 --> 00:01:41,95
A radio transmitter could coordinate
the movement of troops bring tanks

9
00:01:41,95 --> 00:01:45,81
and infantry together at the
right place at the right time.

10
00:01:47,92 --> 00:01:50,62
But it would have to be a
mobile radio transmitter

11
00:01:51,80 --> 00:01:56,43
and it would have to be a powerful
transmitter to keep an eye on broken contact

12
00:01:56,43 --> 00:01:59,35
between our forces on
the ground. In the air.

13
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:06,69
And on the sea the control of
widely separated forces the

14
00:02:06,69 --> 00:02:09,89
timing of their action the
success of the attack.

15
00:02:09,95 --> 00:02:13,59
Depends upon reliable
radio communications.

16
00:02:14,52 --> 00:02:18,70
Yes the signal caller engineers knew just
what kind of a transmitter it would take

17
00:02:18,70 --> 00:02:19,71
to do the job

18
00:02:20,50 --> 00:02:25,19
but the big problem was to locate a
manufactured transmitter of a design

19
00:02:25,19 --> 00:02:31,97
that would come close to these requirements
in this pre-war how the crafters H

20
00:02:31,97 --> 00:02:36,55
T four transmitter the Signal
Corps found many of the answers.

21
00:02:37,46 --> 00:02:42,81
It was designed especially for amateur
use it was easily capable of worldwide

22
00:02:42,81 --> 00:02:46,31
communication using either coast or voice.

23
00:02:47,54 --> 00:02:49,35
Another great advantage was the fact

24
00:02:49,35 --> 00:02:52,92
that this how a crafters unit at been
on the market for several years.

25
00:02:54,19 --> 00:02:58,36
There was an opportunity to check its
performance through the records of hundreds

26
00:02:58,36 --> 00:02:59,39
of America's hands

27
00:03:00,23 --> 00:03:06,24
and these amateurs know good performance
it employed a band switching in the

28
00:03:06,24 --> 00:03:06,76
exciter

29
00:03:06,76 --> 00:03:13,01
and driver stages which made it possible
to change frequencies very rapidly.

30
00:03:13,03 --> 00:03:17,27
Deputy director had reported better

31
00:03:22,27 --> 00:03:24,83
return than half of the four

32
00:03:29,18 --> 00:03:31,30

00:04:36,90 --> 00:04:40,56
What are you doing on twenty meter

44
00:04:42,03 --> 00:04:48,32
Knowledge is something about the marvelous
California weather Alaska Australia

45
00:04:48,32 --> 00:04:50,44
Europe South Africa.

46
00:04:51,27 --> 00:04:56,38
These were regular almost daily
experiences in many amateurs homes where

47
00:04:56,38 --> 00:04:59,50
Hallicrafters were rapidly
shrinking this old world of ours.

48
00:05:01,46 --> 00:05:02,67
The transmitter that service.

49
00:05:02,68 --> 00:05:05,43
The army must be able to perform anywhere

50
00:05:05,43 --> 00:05:08,96
and under all kinds of
unpredictable conditions.

51
00:05:10,81 --> 00:05:15,44
Up to this time no one had ever thought
seriously of putting this sensitive finely

52
00:05:15,44 --> 00:05:17,02
balanced instrument on wheels

53
00:05:17,02 --> 00:05:23,76
and bouncing it around foxholes What about
vibration where with the power come from

54
00:05:26,32 --> 00:05:29,25
the job of toughening up
the H.D. For to go to war.

55
00:05:30,09 --> 00:05:34,40
Well on the shoulders of Bill Halligan
Bob Samuelson how the crafters chief

56
00:05:34,40 --> 00:05:34,88
engineer

57
00:05:34,88 --> 00:05:41,84
and the hard pressed technicians of the
Signal Corps Never few changes needed to

58
00:05:41,84 --> 00:05:43,34
adapt this unit to Army needs.

59
00:05:43,73 --> 00:05:48,66
There was good engineering and good sound
instruction in the set to start with.

60
00:05:50,90 --> 00:05:54,08
This was to be the new home
for Hallicrafters equipment.

61
00:05:54,53 --> 00:05:59,72
Everything needed to transmit and receive
had to be packed into this small space.

62
00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:07,18
That would take some
more good engineering.

63
00:06:07,19 --> 00:06:10,09
This demand was nothing
new to these pioneers.

64
00:06:10,51 --> 00:06:15,48
There are no fixed limits in
Hallicrafters design or construction.

65
00:06:15,82 --> 00:06:20,76
There is always development
change improvements.

66
00:06:20,78 --> 00:06:25,78
Many of the war adaptations were
drawn from advanced developments

67
00:06:25,78 --> 00:06:30,27
that had been in the
experimental stage for months.

68
00:06:31,41 --> 00:06:36,22
For example in the pre-war model
plugging in a tuning unit might be quite

69
00:06:36,22 --> 00:06:39,92
attractive the holes in the
prongs couldn't get together.

70
00:06:46,66 --> 00:06:51,70
Or the new signal core transmitter guide
channels make this tuning unit change

71
00:06:51,70 --> 00:06:56,46
quick positive and how the
unit securely in place.

72
00:06:57,46 --> 00:07:02,16
In the pre-war model the Proms on the
tube were enough to hold it in place.

73
00:07:02,72 --> 00:07:08,63
But this won't do for hopping
shell holes the tubes support

74
00:07:08,63 --> 00:07:11,37
or a ring was added to lock that too.

75
00:07:11,55 --> 00:07:15,08
Firmly in position so
that no amount of bumping

76
00:07:15,08 --> 00:07:21,78
or vibration would move it for
stationary use no special

77
00:07:21,78 --> 00:07:24,07
footing was needed to
anchor the transmitter.

78
00:07:24,86 --> 00:07:30,28
But for rough riding in a truck rubber
shockproof mountings were added.

79
00:07:31,26 --> 00:07:33,95
In the process of making the
entire unit more rugged.

80
00:07:34,53 --> 00:07:39,68
This air patter was replaced by a
new vacuum tube padding condenser

81
00:07:42,12 --> 00:07:46,49
rooftop antennas could be as large as
the pre-war Ham wanted to make them

82
00:07:47,20 --> 00:07:48,07
but it was pretty obvious

83
00:07:48,07 --> 00:07:53,33
that a rigging such as this one would hardly
do on the top of a signal corps truck.

84
00:07:54,79 --> 00:07:57,16
The solution was in the
use of whip antennas

85
00:07:57,16 --> 00:07:59,91
and in designing an antenna tuning unit.

86
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:04,28
Which would have vision play transfer the
output of the transmitter to the whip

87
00:08:04,28 --> 00:08:15,30
antenna.

88
00:08:15,32 --> 00:08:20,62
Throughout all of these changes to adapt
a peacetime transmitter to wartime

89
00:08:20,62 --> 00:08:21,29
requirements.

90
00:08:21,59 --> 00:08:27,11
The high quality standards of Hallicrafters
were strictly maintained in workmanship

91
00:08:27,81 --> 00:08:33,49
in design and construction and
especially in performance.

92
00:08:34,70 --> 00:08:38,95
When the signal corps inspected the first
of Hallicrafters transmitters armored for

93
00:08:38,95 --> 00:08:43,74
war. They found what they were
looking for a high powered unit

94
00:08:43,74 --> 00:08:46,81
that had been made completely mobile one

95
00:08:46,82 --> 00:08:52,12
that delivered good reliable
performance under all conditions.

96
00:08:52,14 --> 00:08:54,47
The first big job had been done.

97
00:08:54,53 --> 00:08:59,59
Well then came the warning
of another bigger job.

98
00:08:59,61 --> 00:09:03,15
Field reports indicate
performance of S.C.R.

99
00:09:03,15 --> 00:09:09,87
To ninety nine exceeds expectation
requests to expedite production as

100
00:09:09,87 --> 00:09:14,04
much as possible. And in
working man's English

101
00:09:14,04 --> 00:09:19,71
that means let's go on production.

102
00:09:19,73 --> 00:09:24,82
This is the plant and clearing Illinois
where mass production of the new S.C.R.

103
00:09:24,82 --> 00:09:30,53
To ninety nine mobile radio station was
obtained on a scale never dreamed of before

104
00:09:30,53 --> 00:09:33,29
in this industry.

105
00:09:33,31 --> 00:09:37,91
The key man for this tremendous production
job were selected from the ranks of the

106
00:09:37,91 --> 00:09:41,22
American radio amateurs.

107
00:09:41,24 --> 00:09:44,43
These men had to know how
the technical background

108
00:09:44,43 --> 00:09:48,02
and experience it took
to get into action fast.

109
00:09:48,38 --> 00:09:54,26
This entire operation is headed by Herb
Hartley known to the amateur fraternity as

110
00:09:54,26 --> 00:09:59,83
W and I W N G. This production
was accomplished through this.

111
00:10:00,00 --> 00:10:05,42
Landed cooperation of hundreds of loyal
skilled workers who realized how big the

112
00:10:05,42 --> 00:10:10,26
job ahead was and knew how to do it.

113
00:10:11,33 --> 00:10:14,11
It was achieved through the
unfailing efforts of many suppliers

114
00:10:14,11 --> 00:10:16,95
and their thousands of workers who built

115
00:10:16,95 --> 00:10:22,84
that to the Transformers the condensers
coils insulators the steel Jacey's

116
00:10:22,84 --> 00:10:28,94
and all the other components that go
in to make the S C R two ninety nine.

117
00:10:29,78 --> 00:10:31,93
And finally the very design

118
00:10:31,93 --> 00:10:37,00
and construction of the transmitter lead
itself to mass production better than any

119
00:10:37,00 --> 00:10:42,28
other pre-war domestic transmitter
this chassis was strong.

120
00:10:42,55 --> 00:10:45,20
There was room to work with subassemblies.

121
00:10:47,54 --> 00:10:51,97
This is the main assembly line from
the end of which come the completed

122
00:10:51,97 --> 00:10:57,59
transmitters. This is the feeder
table for the main assembly line.

123
00:10:58,19 --> 00:11:00,17
Here the subassemblies are inspected

124
00:11:00,17 --> 00:11:06,04
or hooked up to other components at the
foot of the main assembly line the

125
00:11:06,04 --> 00:11:07,34
transmitter looks like this.

126
00:11:07,81 --> 00:11:11,98
Steel base to which are added
sockets for rectifier to.

127
00:11:13,17 --> 00:11:17,27
Then the bleeder resistor which furnishes
a constant load on the high voltage

128
00:11:17,27 --> 00:11:18,54
supply.

129
00:11:18,56 --> 00:11:20,08
Next the filter choke

130
00:11:20,08 --> 00:11:24,74
and condensers which supply direct current
to the plate circuits of the transmitter

131
00:11:26,00 --> 00:11:28,75
in wiring these parts a great deal of time

132
00:11:28,75 --> 00:11:33,58
and work is saved by the
use of pre-formed cables.

133
00:11:33,60 --> 00:11:36,29
The cables are cut warmed

134
00:11:36,30 --> 00:11:39,36
and tipped already for installation

135
00:11:40,94 --> 00:11:46,00
and here's the basis Embley completed in
just a little more time than it's taken to

136
00:11:46,00 --> 00:11:46,43
show it.

137
00:11:49,81 --> 00:11:54,13
Meanwhile on the opposite side of the
table the power control panel is being

138
00:11:54,13 --> 00:11:59,06
assembled. These are the controls for
filament voltage and modulator bias.

139
00:12:00,00 --> 00:12:04,73
The purpose of this panel is to group
within convenient reach of the operator all

140
00:12:04,73 --> 00:12:09,76
the essential power controls these
cables here are cut to length

141
00:12:09,76 --> 00:12:16,69
and form over on the feeder table
terminal lugs are soldered to the NS then

142
00:12:16,70 --> 00:12:22,19
all the other wires needed in the circuit
are placed into position bound together.

143
00:12:22,21 --> 00:12:26,50
So that soldering to terminals is the only
operation needed in the final assembly.

144
00:12:28,07 --> 00:12:29,68
This is a power panel cable.

145
00:12:31,53 --> 00:12:33,92
When wiring is completed and the switches

146
00:12:33,92 --> 00:12:38,61
and fuses have been installed the sides
are joined to the power control panel

147
00:12:38,61 --> 00:12:42,90
and this unit is ready to
join the main assembly line.

148
00:12:44,61 --> 00:12:49,38
The transmitter begins to take shape as the
base is joined to the power panel unit

149
00:12:50,13 --> 00:12:54,17
electric oyster used for ease and
accuracy and handling these parts.

150
00:12:57,17 --> 00:13:00,18
Now the main power
transformer is set in place.

151
00:13:00,20 --> 00:13:01,45
This is the unit

152
00:13:01,45 --> 00:13:06,52
that steps up the input to the high voltage
required to operate the final amplifier

153
00:13:06,52 --> 00:13:09,46
and modulator two.

154
00:13:09,48 --> 00:13:13,21
After the transformer is
connected the entire deck

155
00:13:13,21 --> 00:13:17,93
or base is forced into a dolly
to make handling easier.

156
00:13:17,95 --> 00:13:21,02
There is high power equipment
on this deck and it's heavy.

157
00:13:23,29 --> 00:13:26,07
The second deck contains
the audio driver stage

158
00:13:26,07 --> 00:13:30,98
and modulator of the transmitter which
makes possible radio telephone operation.

159
00:13:32,14 --> 00:13:38,74
Listen tire unit built in another plant
has been inspected on the feeder tables.

160
00:13:38,75 --> 00:13:43,38
And requires only a modulation
transformer and a phone C.W.

161
00:13:43,38 --> 00:13:47,87
Relay to be complete.

162
00:13:48,67 --> 00:13:53,23
The top deck of the transmitter the
radio frequency section begins with the

163
00:13:53,23 --> 00:13:57,90
installation of the cipher assembly which
is fabricated at how the crafters twenty

164
00:13:57,90 --> 00:14:03,22
six tree plant. Three separate tuning
units may be plugged into this Assembly

165
00:14:03,99 --> 00:14:09,18
and he want of which may be selected by the
band switch the panel is joined to the

166
00:14:09,18 --> 00:14:11,16
frame so that shafts

167
00:14:11,16 --> 00:14:17,40
and controls can be properly placed this
is the extension shaft to the band switch

168
00:14:18,24 --> 00:14:21,96
by the use of this band switch connected
to the exciter and driver stages.

169
00:14:22,26 --> 00:14:25,25
It's possible to change
frequencies very rapidly.

170
00:14:27,08 --> 00:14:39,69
That's vitally important
in military operation.

171
00:14:44,62 --> 00:14:49,71
The final amplifier tuning condenser
assembly was built as a unit on the feeder

172
00:14:49,71 --> 00:14:50,85
table.

173
00:14:50,87 --> 00:14:57,31
It is placed carefully in position before
this radio frequency direct joins the

174
00:14:57,31 --> 00:15:01,45
main assembly line the
standoffs are added.

175
00:15:02,65 --> 00:15:08,93
The exciter to Marja later
cable is hooked up.

176
00:15:08,95 --> 00:15:17,28
The neutralizing condenser
is mounted on the standoffs.

177
00:15:20,87 --> 00:15:27,30
The main tube socket is added.

178
00:15:29,47 --> 00:15:33,59
There are the antenna binding posts
through which passes the output of the

179
00:15:33,59 --> 00:15:35,81
transmitter.

180
00:15:35,83 --> 00:15:41,38
This unit is now carefully inspected
before it moves into main assembly every

181
00:15:41,39 --> 00:15:44,95
element. No matter how large
or small is inspected

182
00:15:44,95 --> 00:15:48,90
and tested before it
goes into a transmitter.

183
00:15:50,36 --> 00:15:53,33
When the radio frequency Tech
joins the main assembly here.

184
00:15:53,65 --> 00:15:59,28
The big job is nearly done a steady flow
of finished units has been made possible.

185
00:16:00,00 --> 00:16:05,56
By intelligent planning of the work at
all how a crafters plans perfect for the

186
00:16:05,56 --> 00:16:10,60
nation with the suppliers and sub
contractors and hundreds of skilled

187
00:16:10,60 --> 00:16:11,71
and tireless hands.

188
00:16:13,53 --> 00:16:17,57
Now the relays are covered the
smaller tubes are set in place

189
00:16:18,64 --> 00:16:24,68
and the completed unit is ready to leave
the assembly line the transmitter is now

190
00:16:24,68 --> 00:16:29,69
ready for the first of many tests it will
receive before it earns the stamp of

191
00:16:29,69 --> 00:16:32,99
final approval.

192
00:16:34,00 --> 00:16:39,01
This is the electrical testing room where
the transmitters output modulation

193
00:16:39,01 --> 00:16:41,45
and key are accurately measured

194
00:16:41,45 --> 00:16:46,20
and recorded this work calls for plenty
of technical skill and knowledge.

195
00:16:46,66 --> 00:16:51,13
So the staff here is principally made
up of experienced radio amateurs.

196
00:16:52,90 --> 00:16:57,48
Signal Corps inspectors watch closely these
important steps in controlling both the

197
00:16:57,48 --> 00:16:57,95
quality

198
00:16:57,95 --> 00:17:04,86
and performance of the transmitter this
test measures the radio frequency output

199
00:17:04,86 --> 00:17:05,71
of the transmitter.

200
00:17:06,25 --> 00:17:12,44
Instead of allowing the signal to radiate
over an antenna these blokes called the

201
00:17:12,44 --> 00:17:17,36
dummy antenna converts the
R.F. Outputs into heat.

202
00:17:18,50 --> 00:17:24,37
Another important test is the one made for
overload the purpose of this is to make

203
00:17:24,37 --> 00:17:28,33
sure the relays respond properly
to protect the circuits.

204
00:17:30,11 --> 00:17:34,97
This is also done to determine the capacity
of the entire transmitter to absorb a

205
00:17:34,97 --> 00:17:40,56
temporary overload in normal
operation without breaking down.

206
00:17:41,85 --> 00:17:46,00
Next the transmitter is given a
trial it's sending code signals

207
00:17:47,00 --> 00:17:49,58
when operated in this
manner the audio amplifier

208
00:17:49,58 --> 00:17:56,03
and modulator are not used the flashing of
these rectifier tubes shows how the key

209
00:17:56,03 --> 00:17:59,95
simply makes embrace the
output to form the carrier.

210
00:18:00,00 --> 00:18:05,61
There is of the telegraph code to check
how well the transmitter responds to all

211
00:18:05,61 --> 00:18:09,51
essential voice frequencies
the IS STILL A graph is used.

212
00:18:10,51 --> 00:18:11,84
This detects any distortion

213
00:18:12,85 --> 00:18:18,41
and locates of what point the distortion
occurs less transmitter shows a normal

214
00:18:18,41 --> 00:18:22,76
frequency response when the
lid goes on the transmitter

215
00:18:22,76 --> 00:18:28,25
that means it has passed all the
electrical tests within a one reading.

216
00:18:29,38 --> 00:18:36,35
It's ready now for the Signal Corps
truck. In another part of the plant.

217
00:18:36,62 --> 00:18:39,80
Radio receivers are being
mounted on a table assembly

218
00:18:39,80 --> 00:18:43,06
that makes up the listening end
of this communication unit.

219
00:18:43,56 --> 00:18:49,68
Each table is equipped with two similar
radio receivers one operates on the main

220
00:18:49,68 --> 00:18:53,13
power supply and the other
from an auxiliary battery.

221
00:18:54,69 --> 00:19:00,88
The entire assembly is tested for proper
operation as a unit the two receivers can

222
00:19:00,88 --> 00:19:03,43
be operated simultaneously.

223
00:19:04,77 --> 00:19:10,14
This is the speech amplifier two separate
operating positions are provided.

224
00:19:10,75 --> 00:19:16,31
Part of the table assembly includes two
loud speakers to feel telephone instruments

225
00:19:16,31 --> 00:19:20,24
and a portable typewriter.

226
00:19:20,26 --> 00:19:25,80
This is the final step in assembly
bringing the transmitter the receivers

227
00:19:25,80 --> 00:19:30,18
and the accessories together and
installing them in the truck.

228
00:19:31,51 --> 00:19:33,94
Once the equipment is
mounted inside this door.

229
00:19:34,23 --> 00:19:38,09
It becomes officially the
S C R two ninety nine.

230
00:19:38,24 --> 00:19:43,86
It's on the way to the front easy does it.

231
00:19:44,02 --> 00:19:46,09
There is no room to spare here

232
00:19:46,09 --> 00:19:51,81
and there is plenty more to be put in every
inch of space is accounted for in this

233
00:19:51,81 --> 00:19:58,05
truck and these men know how to
use it the place for everything.

234
00:19:59,38 --> 00:20:03,37
And everything. Goes right into
place quickly and securely.

235
00:20:03,39 --> 00:20:06,78
While the transmitter is
being bolted to the floor.

236
00:20:06,80 --> 00:20:13,09
The table assembly with its receiving
equipment moves in accuracy and design

237
00:20:13,09 --> 00:20:17,79
and construction makes it possible to
save many valuable hours throughout the

238
00:20:17,79 --> 00:20:20,93
entire production assembly of the unit.

239
00:20:22,10 --> 00:20:25,50
There goes the world cabinet that
holds the additional operating parts.

240
00:20:25,86 --> 00:20:30,68
Extra calls tuning units
condensers and here is the bench

241
00:20:30,68 --> 00:20:37,03
that contains the tools and spare
parts. Radio man's hope chest.

242
00:20:38,05 --> 00:20:39,26
And this is what it looks like

243
00:20:39,26 --> 00:20:46,15
when the operators step in at the far end
the transmitter with the antenna tuner on

244
00:20:46,15 --> 00:20:48,58
top of it. On the right.

245
00:20:48,74 --> 00:20:55,43
The wall cabinets on the floor of the long
bench for the operators both of these

246
00:20:55,43 --> 00:21:01,33
are storehouses for parts and accessories
on the left wall of the truck.

247
00:21:01,90 --> 00:21:07,33
The operator's table with two receivers
speech of the fire control panel

248
00:21:08,36 --> 00:21:13,29
and below an electric heater
and the two field telephones.

249
00:21:14,11 --> 00:21:15,41
There goes the S.C.R.

250
00:21:15,41 --> 00:21:20,21
Tonight a night out into the field
to make its final test on the air.

251
00:21:21,58 --> 00:21:26,38
There is just one thing missing.
Where's the power coming from.

252
00:21:27,51 --> 00:21:32,07
The Signal Corps provides with that in
a portable gasoline driven generator

253
00:21:32,07 --> 00:21:34,84
that rides in this trailer
behind each truck.

254
00:21:35,53 --> 00:21:41,92
This generator supplies standard lighting
current one hundred seventeen boats a C..

255
00:21:41,94 --> 00:21:43,25
A transmitter and receiver

256
00:21:43,25 --> 00:21:49,35
that operate on this current can be
hooked into power almost anywhere.

257
00:21:50,16 --> 00:21:55,33
Here is the mobile power supply a remote
control from the truck to the generator

258
00:21:55,33 --> 00:21:58,83
makes it possible to start and
stop the generator at will.

259
00:22:02,39 --> 00:22:08,74
The operator prepares for the air test his
first call is to central control station.

260
00:22:09,11 --> 00:22:11,28
Now the next like a double X.

261
00:22:11,28 --> 00:22:14,91
Like a four calling for a check on
the quality of this transmission

262
00:22:14,91 --> 00:22:15,97
and standing by.

263
00:22:19,85 --> 00:22:25,51
And here is communication going off to war
over these rams roll hundreds of units

264
00:22:25,51 --> 00:22:31,36
that will carry the voice of victory to
every corner of the earth like the champion

265
00:22:31,36 --> 00:22:33,45
thoroughbred it is the S.C.R.

266
00:22:33,45 --> 00:22:37,08
Two ninety nine breaks a
whole boxcar to itself

267
00:23:20,28 --> 00:23:24,87
the Signal Corps unit is built for
action and to get into action fast.

268
00:23:25,00 --> 00:23:30,80
It's a highly mobile radio station that
may be set up almost anywhere in battle

269
00:23:30,80 --> 00:23:33,75
or invasion activities.
Speed is quite old.

270
00:23:34,05 --> 00:23:40,83
Every minute counts the enemy doesn't wait
to be on occasions must be ready at all

271
00:23:40,83 --> 00:23:46,62
the time it may be the only contact
over which a blow by blow report.

272
00:23:46,73 --> 00:23:51,42
Life is from the local front to the
remote commands of Cairo London Sydney

273
00:23:54,15 --> 00:23:54,68
the S.C.R.

274
00:23:54,68 --> 00:23:59,82
To ninety nine in this position is the
nerve center of all our attacking forces.

275
00:24:00,78 --> 00:24:07,70
Artillery tanks infantry air
force many of which are

276
00:24:07,70 --> 00:24:13,66
widely separated through the transmitter
low the reports information

277
00:24:14,38 --> 00:24:14,76
timing

278
00:24:15,52 --> 00:24:22,42
and the order to advance this is
the voice of victory contact may

279
00:24:22,42 --> 00:24:26,51
be made with an approaching flight of bombers
while they're still hundreds of miles

280
00:24:26,51 --> 00:24:31,94
away from the target to coordinate their
attack perfectly these flyers must know

281
00:24:32,72 --> 00:24:39,16
the present position of our own tanks
infantry artillery they get this information

282
00:24:39,16 --> 00:24:45,02
by contact with the message center
which speaks and listens to the S.C.R.

283
00:24:45,02 --> 00:24:51,74
Two ninety nine tanks moving into position
must be kept informed of the approaching

284
00:24:51,74 --> 00:24:55,29
air support timing is vital

285
00:24:56,06 --> 00:25:00,74
and the timing of all these movements is
controlled through this voice by direct

286
00:25:00,74 --> 00:25:07,25
contact with the armored forces head from
many small stations scattered miles apart

287
00:25:07,25 --> 00:25:13,05
along the battle fronts comes the flesh
new the observations the unexpected

288
00:25:14,35 --> 00:25:16,63
all clearing through this central station.

289
00:25:17,72 --> 00:25:22,43
That's how radio helps to time these
big movements make them strike most

290
00:25:22,43 --> 00:25:22,89
effectively

291
00:25:23,65 --> 00:25:30,45
and with the minimum loss of American lives
radio communication units are among the

292
00:25:30,45 --> 00:25:35,29
first pieces of equipment to go into
action whether the attack is on land

293
00:25:35,29 --> 00:25:42,19
or sea radio communication stay
in the fight as long as there

294
00:25:42,19 --> 00:25:47,74
are men guns ships and tanks
on the move or the life death

295
00:25:47,74 --> 00:25:56,20
or victory of all of them depend
upon this command get messy room.

296
00:25:56,22 --> 00:25:59,93
It's perhaps one of the most important.

297
00:26:00,00 --> 00:26:04,62
Messages ever issued is the one you're
about to hear from Major General Henry C.

298
00:26:04,62 --> 00:26:10,40
Ingo's keep signal officer of the
United States Army general Ingles.

299
00:26:12,36 --> 00:26:17,51
I'm speaking not as round American soldier
to another are we in the armed forces

300
00:26:18,32 --> 00:26:22,31
regard each of you men and women in
this audience as being on our bus

301
00:26:22,31 --> 00:26:24,69
and working shoulder to shoulder with us.

302
00:26:26,11 --> 00:26:29,89
You and you alone are
responsible for the production

303
00:26:29,89 --> 00:26:35,87
and performance of this vital piece of
communication equipment you have seen them

304
00:26:35,87 --> 00:26:40,07
up to no good communication
equipment to the men out there

305
00:26:41,30 --> 00:26:45,18
and what it means to victory.
You have done a splendid job.

306
00:26:46,47 --> 00:26:48,44
Keep up the good work you have been doing.

307
00:26:49,81 --> 00:26:54,14
We are asking millions of American
soldiers to stake their lives on breaking

308
00:26:54,14 --> 00:26:56,26
Germany and Japan.

309
00:26:56,27 --> 00:27:01,02
They ask you to keep up your production
to the limits of your ability

310
00:27:02,25 --> 00:27:03,88
and to high standards of workmanship

311
00:27:04,88 --> 00:27:07,18
that had given us an
advantage over the enemy

312
00:27:07,18 --> 00:27:10,65
that can be measured only on
the day of final victory.
